American is in for a rough few years at best. They’re poised to lose a ton of market share as their regional feed rapidly collapses (regionals make up roughly 40% of their daily departures in their most profitable hubs) and they have no plan to mitigate that shrinking. United and Delta have both enacted/articulated plans to mitigate this threat to their revenue. American’s business model seems confused, it’s leadership adrift in an endless sea of complex problems, and it is the least profitable of any of the legacies during good times. It will continue to bleed cash and likely face a restructuring at some point.
